Are wood burning barrels safe to use indoors?

These kits are made to make a DIY wood burning stove and CAN be used indoors WITH proper venting of the "exhaust".

Yes I have used one for years in my garage . Just have to have heat deflectors to keep walls around barrel protected

I have used it indoors, but well ventilated. Naturally care should be taken to fuel the stove outside and to leave the spare fuel outside. For many years people cooked on indoor kerosene stoves that had an order all it's own. This fuel is more flammable. Use caution.

very safe indoors or out. they must be set up on stable surface. The can spill if knocked over. I think heet will work, methyl alcohol without the brand name might be cheaper. I have used rubbing alcohol too. I carried on all over Alaska in the woods as a surveyor and geologist for fifty years. They always worked when I need them. Good Luck

It's an open flame, it produces carbon monoxide, and it smokes a bit. I happen to have a fireplace in my house so I could use it there, if I opened the flue. But I wouldn't generally recommend using it indoors.

I've never used it inside, but I would think that it is. I've read on reviews that people have used it indoors during power outages. The fire isn't big.

I would definitely not use one of these in your kitchen or even indoors for that matter! I use these on breweries where we have the proper flame guards and safeties in place to prevent burning the building down. This burner will get far too hot for every day kitchen cooking and gives off a pretty decent flame.

Yes, I believe this house could be safely used indoors . . . But use caution. The two I have outdoors on my deck sit on masonry bricks (the ones with the three holes). I like the extra safety that comes from having the heated base up and off of anything combustible.

I definitely would NOT use this inside. In order for it to work it needs to get really hot. It will likely ruin your indoor burners. Also there will be way too much smoke. There is no way to have proper ventilation indoors for it.

You can certainly use this indoors but I would be hesitant to use it without the proper fireproof enclosure of a fireplace inside. Outdoors no problem

I would not use a grill regulator on gas logs indoors in a house. That could be very unsafe. I would go to your fireplace shop for a regulator only.

I don't think wood would be effective to produce a hot enough flame for cooking. these little stoves are designed to use cans of Sterno heat or fuel cubes.

Yes you can. You will need to put a can or something to keep the wood in though so the heat and flame can be concentrated. It looks like the metal is coated in Zinc to make it rust resistsant so I would not build a fire in the thing unless you want zinc poisoning.

I wouldn't. It kicks up a good flame on high. On low it will still burn pretty well, which is dangerous indoors.

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

any steel barrel that has no signs of corrosion will do for burning wood. generally, the older the barrel the thicker it will be. I usually judge barrels by their total weight, not measured thickness.

Yes, this stove is safe to use indoors. It is no different than a gas stove in your kitchen.

I live in Florida and have used Sterno indoors to cook and heat water for coffee and tea for 65 years. Our house is not what can be called "air tight" but I have not noticed any fumes from the alcohol burning. We use one can at a time by placeing it in a piece of ceramic tile on the kitchen counter top. lg
